Ditto I Capture The Castle.<br /><br />I've just finished a book on Ancient Britain, which was fascinating, and am currently re-reading some old favourites: Generation X right now, but next up TC Boyle's Drop City and How I Paid For College by Marc Acito.<br /><br />We need to clear out some books for the charity shop too - not sure it'll be as many as you though!Louisa Parryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05834928608516761974noreply@blogger.com
